Mash-ups are so fun!
And I’m pivoting my focus exactly as you wrote: to adapt historical fashion styles into modern wardrobe pieces. It’s been done in modern runway shows, but I want to continue to inspire by sewing them ourselves. Thanks for commenting on our BUB group!

Great dress, l love the idea of historical mash ups, l am limited by money and my unwillingness to wear a corset, but I love the thought of an adapted version of historical styles that l can run (hobble) for a bus in. I made an 1890s style dress from a roll of furnishing fabric found in a charity shop. No boning, and it has a zip but l love it

[…] Also for Costume College I made my 1884 Steelers Royalty “Dress of Wrong” that tied into the “Dressing the Royals” event theme. This ensemble even caused a new group to form for 2019: the BUB Brigade. […]

I would like to make dresses that have a historical silhouette, but I use beautiful fabric or techniques and notions that all modern. There is so much beautiful fabric now days and a lot of the fabric in the old days just isn’t that Pretty to me. Of course when I watch historical dramas or outlander when they were in France there was some gorgeous fabric. There was a post on Facebook about a woman in New York who wears her gowns Every day and she does not Care what. What time she combines in her dress. I would like to wear their school clothes every day too.

Wonderful! Thank you so Very much. I ´ve found this sketch too but I needed an expert to confirm if it was historicaly acurate. That’s what I call a narrow Bertha. I hope you won’t be disappointed by my lace choice : 6 cm black vintage Calais, because I haven’t got any narrow antique Chantilly. I will sew the lace to either to a 1.5cm bias (plus piping) or to an inch wide sophisticately pleated strip (see princess de Broglie by Ingres, 1853 or duchesse d’Aumale by winterhalter, 1846).
If I may, and if i am able to do it) I Will send you a picture when it’s finished.
Hope you won’t say: Perfect for the bub show!
Happy week-end
